Found out I need new rear air bags and had a question. The Bill Blass edition has 40% softer bags. So I was thinking to put them up front to allow greater transfer for the 1/4. does this make sense to you guys?

You want shocks with less rebound valving for better weight transfer.

softer springs/bags go in the back

:werd:

You want the back to squat down and the front to push upward.

no plans to swap front and rear bags, just maybe swap stiffness

Spencer...I think you're money will be well-invested to convert the airbags on that car to a standard spring/strut. The boys out in Odenville have some conversion control-arms that allow this...and some other method for the front (I thin kit's a thunderbird control-arm and seetup.

Getting rid of the airbags will be great for your plans: a hotrod lincoln.
